Stock Up: Harris English

Another golfer who won early in the season, Harris English has been solid since, despite missing the cut at the season's first major. English won the OHL Classic at Mayakoba in November. He's notched another four top-10 finishes since that point.

Excluding the Masters, English has made the cut in every start this season. Although he hasn't been overwhelming as of late, he hasn't finished outside the top 40 this season (excluding the missed cut, obviously), and he's risen from 53rd to 40th in the Official World Golf Ranking since the beginning of the year.

Stock Up: Phil Mickelson

Phil Mickelson missed the cut at the Masters, his first missed cut at the tournament in more than a decade. However, the left-hander has been playing through injury and was both a tad rusty and compromised heading into the season's first major.

Prior to the Masters, Mickelson tied for 12th at the Houston Open, a week after having to withdraw due to injury at the Valero Texas Open. Prior to that, he finished tied for 16th at the WGC-Cadillac Championship.

Removing the injury issues from the equation, Mickelson's play has been solid this season.

Stock Down: Chris Kirk

Chris Kirk had a torrid two months from November of last year through January. The Georgia native won the McGladrey Classic, finished tied for 16th at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions and finished second at the Sony Open.

Since that point, he hasn't missed a cut. He hasn't finished inside the top 10 either, however, and certainly hasn't come close to another victory. One bright spot besides the cut streak: Kirk did finish inside the top 25 at the Masters.

Still, it's difficult to make the case that Kirk is trending upward, even if he was never going to equal his early-season form.

Stock Up: Matt Kuchar

It's not hard to be bullish about the Matt Kuchar Corporation.

Kuchar won last week's RBC Heritage a week after finishing tied for fifth at the Masters. In his two starts prior to the season's first major, Kuchar finished second in a playoff at the Shell Houston Open and tied for fourth at the Valero Texas Open.

Kuchar's stock, already a near blue chip, is continuing to increase in value.

Stock Down: Zach Johnson

In his last two starts, Zach Johnson missed the cut at the Masters and finished tied for 61st at the RBC Heritage. The missed cut at Augusta was the Iowan's first MC of the season and came on the heels of a tie for sixth at the Valero Texas Open, which seemed to suggest he was primed for a quality showing at Augusta, where he won in 2007.

Even though he won the Hyundai Tournament of Champions earlier this year and has totaled four top-10 finishes, Johnson hasn't been on form in recent weeks. When a former champ misses the cut in the major, he's sending up a smoke signal that the state of his game isn't strong.
